I was wondering what made you involved in Joey’s and Seto’s relashionship ? I have basic knowledge of yu-gi-oh but LOVE your art and I was wondering if they had special moments that got to you ?

no not at ALL lol frikk n i kinda jokingly started talking about seto after in the original manga(ive seen dm like 7 times and read it even more. i dont care for it) he gets his heart back together(in the o.g manga ”his heart rots” after being continually abused as a child and he becomes evil then yugi crushes it and he puts it back together and becomes nice basically which is a.... huge can of worms kind of and im not gonna touch it) he just gets a huge crush on joey but cant express it cause hes so awkward... then it kinda just rolled further. in canon i dont really like their relationship if setos just mean to joey, i hate that, but i like the POTENTIAL kind of.

theyre very much exactly the opposites sodes of the same outcome. their history and personality is essentially the same, its just theyve chose to deal with things differently. they have the same thoughts and reactions to things, but refuse to see or accept this because itd challenge both their worldviews, and both of them are EXTREMELY family-oriented and love and want to protect kids more than anything in the world due partly to their own trauma at the hands of their guardians. since they are so incredibly similar but opposites i think they could learn and grow sooo much with each other too. i like to think if the series had allowed kaiba to grow as it was set to do and not be stuck in the mindset of ”we dont have a villain rn so well shove aside all of kaibas development and male him nasty again” i think his growth couldve been amazing, and i think an ideal character end for him would be to stop repressing his feelings and show love for his friends. i also think once hed start showing his emotions he wouldnt be able to STOP showing them, with love and affection, a validation joey sorely needs and wants. ANYWAY THIS IS ALOT BUT I HAVE TO STOP NOW basically theres not really moments like that because i dont give a shit about ygo canon really but... the POTENTIAL. also hot take but kaiba was never yamis rival, he was joeys, and joey shouldve won against him. yamis rival is yugi.

#also i think they play off eacj othrr bery well in that #its obviously that sunshine jock/dracula feel #and theyre both extreme hotheads and quick to emotion and action #but at the end of the day all they want is to be happy and find peace and calm #i love to imagine that they find it together... #im also VERY weak for wishshipping apropeau of nothing... and rivalshippings sweet
